课文语法结构分析
Interviewer: Good evening, and welcome to Between the Pages.
This evening, I’ll be talking to Dr Richard Fairhurst,
whose new book The New Age of Invention has just
been published. Welcome, Richard!
Richard: Thank you. It’s a pleasure to be here.
Para. 1 & 2
whose引导非限制性定语从句，在从句中作new book的定语。
采访人：晚上好，欢迎来到《字里行间》。今晚的嘉宾是理查德·菲尔赫斯特博士，他的
新书《新发明时代》刚刚出版。欢迎您，理查德！
理查德：谢谢！很高兴能来到这里。
The New Age of Invention 新发明时代
欢迎来到……
现在完成时的被动语态：have/ has been done。
Interviewer: I guess you have been asked about the title of your book before. It suggests that the present day is a new age for inventions, but many people might think that the great age of invention is over.
Richard: Well, that’s an interesting point. There have been golden ages of invention throughout history. Think of the four great inventions in Ancient China: gunpowder, papermaking, printing and the compass. These things changed the world forever. Then there were the great Western inventions: the steam engine, the telephone and the radio. And now, we find ourselves in the great new age of technology.
Para. 3 & 4
that引导的宾语从句，作suggest（表明）宾语，后面为真实语气。
that引导宾语从句，作think宾语。
采访人：我猜已经有人就书名向您提问了。书名提示现在是发明创造的新时代，但可能很多人都认为辉煌的发明时代已经结束了。
理查德：嗯，这个观点很有意思。纵观历史，我们经历很多发明创造的黄金时代。想想
中国古代的四大发明：火药、造纸术、印刷术和指南针。它们永远地改变了世界。而后西方也出现了蒸汽机、电话、广播等伟大的发明。而现在，我们自己正处于伟大的科技新时代。
The New Age of Invention 新发明时代
there be句型是现在完成时。
find + 宾语+ 宾补（介词短语表状态） 发现自己正处于……
Interviewer: So are most of the new great inventions tech-based
Richard: A lot, yes. For example, advances in virtual reality and wearable tech, as well as the flexible battery, mean we should soon be seeing further developments. In addition, important advances have been made in medicine and environmental science thanks to increasing computer power.
Para. 5 & 6
采访人：所以大多数伟大的新发明都是科技产品吗？
理查德：是的，很多都是。比如说，虚拟现实、可穿戴科技设备与柔性电池技术的进步
意味着我们很快会看到更多相关领域的产品研发。此外，得益于不断强化的计算机能力，医药与环境科学也取得了重要进展。
The New Age of Invention 新发明时代
用现在进行时表示最近的将来
此外，另外，表示递进关系。
多亏，幸亏
也，还，连同
Interviewer: Can you give us some examples
Richard: Sure. New inventions like 3D printers have been used to make replacement hearts and bone parts. In terms of the environment, it is now possible to create an intelligent walking house. It is capable of using GPS technology to travel to difference places, with computing technology controlling its “legs”. What’s more, huge advances in solar technology mean it can be eco-friendly, too.
Para. 7 & 8
采访人：您能给我们举几个例子吗？
理查德：当然可以。3D打印机之类的新发明已经应用于制作移植心脏与部分骨骼。在环
境领域，建造智能可移动房屋现在已成为可能。它能依靠全球定位系统技术四处移动，计算机技术则控制着它的“双腿”。此外，太阳能技术的巨大进步也意味着它可以很环保。
The New Age of Invention 新发明时代
在……方面， 就……而言
it是形式主语，不定式to create 是真正的主语。
with复合结构，technology与control之间是主动关系，故用现在分词作宾补。
Interviewer: Impressive stuff! I’ve also been told that you’re an inventor yourself. Is that correct
Richard: Yes, I am, but I’m only one member of a big team --- most inventors now work as part of big international teams.
Para. 9 & 10
that引导的宾语从句
采访人：真是了不起的发明！我听说您自己也是个发明家。是这样吗？
理查德：是的。但我只是一个大型团队中的一分子 --- 大多数发明家现在都在大型国际
团队中工作。
The New Age of Invention 新发明时代
担任……,从事……工作
Interviewer: I see. So what is it that inspires us to invent things
Richard: Most inventions start with recognising a problem that needs a solution. This was no doubt the reason behind the invention of the wheel in ancient times, which much later developed into the car. Now, reduced energy supplies and environmental pollution have led to more advances in the technology of new energy vehicles. But what remains important is that we have an incredible desire to think and create, and that’s the real spirit of invention.
Para. 11 & 12
what引导的主语从句
that引导定语从句，修饰 a problem。
which引导非限制性定语从句，是对the invention of the wheel进行补充说明。
采访人：明白了。那是什么激励着人们进行发明创造呢？
理查德：发现某个需要解决的问题，这是绝大多数发明的起点。古代轮子的发明无疑也
是如此，后来演变为汽车。现在，能源供应紧缩与环境污染推动了新能源汽车技术的进一步发展。不过有一点依旧重要，就是我们对思考与创造有着一种极度的渴望，而这正是真正的发明精神。
The New Age of Invention 新发明时代
it is...that是强调句型，这是疑问词what构成的强调句型的特殊疑问句。
that引导的表语从句
Interviewer: One last question. This is the one everyone really wants to know: will anybody ever invent a time machine
Richard: I think you’ve been watching too many movies! Nothing like this has been invented yet and I’d say we’re a long way from an invention like that at the moment! But, as they say, “Never say never!”
Para. 13 & 14
as引导非限制性定语从句，as“正如”，“正像”。
省略that的定语从句，修饰the one。
省略that的宾语从句，作say的宾语。
采访人：最后一个问题，也是大家都很想知道的：会有人发明出时光机吗？
理查德：我觉得您是电影看多了！目前还没有类似的发明，而且我认为，我们离这样的发明还远着呢！不过，就像人们说的：“凡事都没有绝对！”
